Attended women entrepreneurs forum and these are lessons that I learnt

1. Save, then spend what's left.
2. Avoid too many mobile apps loans. Especially if you're using the money on unnecessary needs. Live within your means.
3. Taking loans for the sake of doing business can be a stepping stone. People should stop fearing loans.
4. Women and Youth enterprise funds provides loans to fund businesses especially on tenders at no interest rates.
5. Kenya is a very corrupt country. But in it, there is demand and opportunity for integrity and honest services.
6. Lack of passion can kill a viable business. Passion is 80% work done. 7.Build your idea based on the available resources and build a structure that best works for you. What works for me may not necessarily work for you.
7. Your network is your net worth.
8. You can't sleep like maziwa Lala 😅 and expect to make good profits.
9. Consistency is key in making a business succeed... Not one day you are here, the other day you are there. It's so unfair. ... To yourself and to your business.
10. Ask for help where necessary. Understand the strengths, pros and cons of partnership. Be clear about the roles of each partner and be clear about the exit clause. It's said the surest way to lose a friend is to do business with them. Well, be clear about the roles of each partner and the exit clause.
11. A good business idea is one that solves people's problems. What problem is your business solving?

I hope this info helps someone 😊.
